Product Description
Over the years we have heard many complaints that there is no very simple book on cardiac pacing for real beginners. We have also heard that all the books on cardiac pacing are too complicated and impossible to understand by beginners. Many have voiced the hope that one day someone would write a book in the same style as Dubin’s book on basic electrocardiography which is a huge bestseller with well over a million sold in many languages. A ‘Dummy’ book on cardiac pacing would appeal to nurses, cardiology technicians, medical students and pacemaker companies for training their staff.
We started with the assumption that the reader would know the principles of electrocardiography as in Dubin’s book but nothing about cardiac pacing. We carefully studied the Dubin book and believe that we have improved his teaching method. The book consists of numbered illustrations each illustrating a concept in the form of a diagram drawn professionally. We have been careful to make the artwork simple for easy comprehension.
Each illustration will occupy a page and have several lines of text below it. We have already completed most of these. It is essential that there are all in color, this is a unique selling point.
The 3 authors have had vast experience in the field. Dr Barold has published 10 books on cardiac pacing and wrote the section on cardiac pacing in the 4th and 5th Edition of Braunwald’s book, Heat Disease."
S. Serge Barold, Roland Stroobandt and Alfons Sinnaeve

 Weird but great April 29, 2008
This book looks more like a comic book, which took me aback at first. But it's loaded with all the stuff you need to know in an easy to read format. Nothing lightweight about it.
 Not every part of the book is easily understood December 3, 2006

Step by step books takes you from zero gradually to a place.But this book takes you from zero to 6,again takes from 1 to 3 etc.Although some parts are easily understood,if you are not familiar to pacemakers you can not understand some parts of this book easily .Some parts are very detailed.Pictures are funny.Perhaps case reviews would be better to understand what to do in the problems of pacemakers.At the end of the book the overview text is well designed and teaching.
Fun to read! August 1, 2006

Pacemaker technology is not an easy thing to learn. Often the question is where to start. This illustrated guide presents the basics in a fun way combined with easy to read text. Untill now I read 33% of the book and it feels like I'm getting somewhere.

Uno de los mejores libros de MP que he leido. Sin duda es el mas didactico pero explica todo. Parece un libro para alguien que no sabe nada, pero creo que incluso para los que sabemos algo, es un libro que nos puede ensenar muchas cosas (al menos nos ensena a ensenar;)
Te aseguro que vale la pena.
One of the best books about PM I've ever read. It's both didactic and deep, so it explains almost everything. It seems a book for non specialist, but I think even who knows something about PM can learn some things about PM with this book (at least learn how to teach ;)
It worth every penny.
